Merriam's convenient central location means homes face varied sun exposure, from morning light on east-facing bedrooms to intense afternoon heat on west-facing living areas. Cellular shades excel in this environment. The double-cell design acts as an insulator, reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter—critical for energy-conscious homeowners managing utility costs. Merriam families with children appreciate the cordless and motorized options for nurseries and bedrooms, eliminating safety concerns. The noise-dampening properties help block highway and commercial sounds from nearby Merriam Drive. From Antioch Park's proximity to families seeking a quiet retreat, our honeycomb shades deliver both practical benefits and the clean, modern look that Merriam's diverse housing stock demands.
